There are 100 shares outstanding of a company and Net Income is $10,000 and is paid out to shareholder as dividend without retaining earning so the dividend per share is $100. Assuming a 10 percent required return, the value of a share of stock today.
We know, value of a share = Dividend paid / Ke -g
where g is the growth rate.
g = Retention ration * Return on equity
Since, the retention is zero, so g becomes zero
Value of share = 100 / )/0.10 - 0
= 100 / 0.10
= 1,000
So, value of stock = $1,000
